Then are SERIOUSLY up against it. Very large geometries and javascript 
without some kind of tile server is total nightmare. Browsers just cant 
hack it, nor can internet data transfer rates. How were you proposing to 
fetch the vectors? GeoJSON files? You might want to look at what UTFGrid 
can do for you but you still have the problem of fetching large no. of 
vectors across the internet in a verbose format, and drawing them in js. 
You cant rely on everyone to have Chrome. More than 500 vertices is 
enough to choke IE. I think you have to look at some kind of tile 
server.  I dont quite get what you mean by  "import" a tile server into 
your project either? Are you looking at off-internet standalone? There 
are tile server options for this kind thing.
